The Review Score of 8 (maximum of 10) for Westbury Grange is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 5 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Westbury Grange in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.5 out of 5 from 2 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Care Home / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Care Home receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.542 for Westbury Grange is calculated as follows: ( (34 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 59 Ratings = 4.542
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Care Home to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 3.472 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Westbury Grange is based on 2 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 = 3.25
Target of 9 positive Reviews (45 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 2 Reviews ÷ 9 Target = 0.222
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Elizabeth S (Daughter of Resident) on Friday 18 August 2017. Relates to August 2017.
I looked at several homes for my mother who suffers from memory loss/vascular dementia. I chose this home because it seemed airy and bright. The staff were all very friendly and obviously had a good relationship with residents.
Since my mother moved in, she has been well cared for by caring, attentive staff. I have been informed of at all times about her well-being and health and would not hesitate in recommending it to others.

Westbury Grange is a facility that offers residents and visitors a good experience. It's bright, modern, well run, fun and is how all care homes should be. With parents in care, I don't have to worry and importantly the visits are good. It's a welcoming place and the staff are great. I don't think there are many places like it or that would achieve such good quality of standards. When they do music events you should see my mum singing. I will have to book my room in advance!

During the time my mum has been in Westbury Grange the family has received total support and care from all the friendly staff. We have been able to voice any concerns and get a rapid, caring and positive response. My mum has flourished and feels safe in her environment, which is kept clean and tidy. She is treated with dignity and best of all the staff really know and understand her. I feel totally happy to leave my mum in the care of this home with these lovely people. Thank you all.

The staff made me feel welcome when I moved in, I have been allowed to make the room personal with furniture from home.
It's nice that I don't have to worry about cooking, cleaning and laundry now. Everything is taken care of for me.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Jackie H (Daughter of Resident) on Saturday 21 May 2016. Relates to May 2016.
My mother has been cared for at Westbury for end of life care and I cannot praise the staff and management here highly enough. Throughout her stay she was treated with compassion and respect. The carers and nursing staff were all very caring and you could tell they obviously cared for all the residents.
The food is very good and the building is maintained to a high standard by an excellent maintenance man. If ever there was a problem it was dealt with very quickly. I would definitely recommend this care home as one of the better ones in Milton Keynes.
